Removing Blur from an Image
First Claim
1. A computing device comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable todeconvolute a blurred image to form an updated image via a Richardson-Lucy deconvolution process utilizing a bilateral range/spatial filter that takes on smaller values as one or more of a spatial distance increases and a range distance increases.

Abstract
Embodiments related to the removal of blur from an image are disclosed. One disclosed embodiment provides a method of performing an iterative non-blind deconvolution of a blurred image to form an updated image. The method comprises downsampling the blurred image to form a blurred image pyramid comprising images of two or more different resolution scales, downsampling a blur kernel to form a blur kernel pyramid comprising kernels of two or more different sizes, and deconvoluting a selected image in the blurred image pyramid according to a Richardson-Lucy deconvolution process in which a bilateral range/spatial filter is employed.

9. On a computing device, a method of deconvoluting a blurred image via a non-blind deconvolution, the method comprising:
-
iteratively downsampling the blurred image to form a blurred image pyramid comprising images of a plurality of different resolution scales; at a lower resolution scale in the blurred image pyramid, deconvoluting a lower resolution image according to a Bilateral Richardson-Lucy (BRL) deconvolution process in which a bilateral range/spatial filter is employed; upsampling the lower resolution image to form an upsampled image; and at a higher resolution scale in the blurred image pyramid, deconvoluting the higher resolution image according to the BRL deconvolution process. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. On a computing device, a method of deconvoluting an original blurred image to form an updated image, the method comprising:
-
iteratively downsampling the original blurred image to form a blurred image pyramid comprising i layers of blurred images of progressively lower resolution scales, wherein i=0 is a lowest-resolution scale; for each resolution scale 0 to i; performing an inter-scale Bilateral Richardson-Lucy (BRL) deconvolution process in which a bilateral range/spatial filter is employed; performing one or more intra-scale BRL deconvolution processes in which the bilateral range/spatial filter is employed; and upsampling the intra-scale deconvoluted image. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
